Geekmas Wishlist Additions
Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up.
Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.

Diesel’s Dystopic Future Nuisances, “Human After All”
While I don’t usually pay much attention to purposely over-the-top ad campaigns, I saw Diesel’s new dystopic “Human After All” campaign on NOTCOT and felt it needed some love.
“Forget for a moment about the barbell that your angry ex-girlfriend is in the midst of hurling at your face from a third floor balcony, and rest assured that your ass looks out of this world in your new Diesel jeans.”
Be sure to see the rest of the present meets future annoyances portrayed by Diesel, like assembling Ikea furniture and figuring out how to get those pancakes off the ceiling of your spaceship. Seriously.
Beyond Trendy
I found this cute considering my (sarcastic) “how hip am I?” comment earlier referring to picking up Stars’ new album two months in advance of retail. A new addition to Threadless, “I listen to bands that don’t even exist yet.”
T-Shirt Friday: Chewie Sushi
I think it’s about time I started doing loopy features on Fridays, no? I’m a sucker for a cleverly designed, maybe slightly ironic t-shirt. Between Threadless, Oddica, Nerdy Shirts, and countless others, there’s certainly no shortage of those on the Web.
This week’s favorites are Chewie over on Bountee.com designed by Toronto’s own Dale Hayward, and Revenge of the Sushi on Threadless by Teddy Baudoin. I love the style of art on both of these, and now that I’ve found out that Threadless ships to Canada sans custom fees, I may have a bit of shopping to do!
Where’s my jetpack?
Based on pop sci-fi and my best estimates, we should be living in swingin’ 70’s-esque space stations and having robot butlers serve our every need. So what’s the deal, scientists? “Where’s My Jetpack?” seems like a valid question at this point (and also makes for a great t-shirt!) and sounds like it would make a damned interesting book, too. [via Fimoculous]
In Where’s My Jetpack?, roboticist Daniel H. Wilson takes a hilarious look at the future we always imagined for ourselves. He exposes technology, spotlights existing prototypes, and reveals drawing-board plans. You will learn which technologies are already available, who made them, and where to find them. If the technology is not public, you will learn how to build, buy, or steal it. And if doesn’t yet exist, you will learn what stands in the way of making it real.
Naked & Angry
It’s not what you think it is. There’s already a huge community backing Threadless, a T-shirt/clothing store with designs created and voted on by its users. Once a design gets enough votes from the users, it goes into production and is put up for sale on the site. Naked & Angry is another project by skinnyCorp, the guys behind Threadless, and is doing for other products, including ties and wallpaper (so far), what Threadless did for clothing; User-generated content hitting the physical world.
